Theory of Numbers An Introduction

Support text for a first course in number theory features the use of algebraic methods for studying arithmetic functions. Subjects covered include the ErdÖs-Selberg proof of the Prime Number Theorem, an introduction to algebraic and geometric number theorythe former by studying Gaussian and Jacobian integers, the latter through geometric methods in proving the Quadratic Reciprocity Law and in proofs of certain asymptotic formulas for summatory functions.Gioia, Anthony A. is the author of 'Theory of Numbers An Introduction', published 2001 under ISBN 9780486414492 and ISBN 0486414493.
